Changing RAID Controller Passwords On The Storage Array

The default SRA configuration assumes storage array passwords are not configured. If you need to use passwords on

the storage arrays, modify the SraConfigurationData.xml file as described below:

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\scripts\SAN\Dell.

2. Using a standard text editor, open the SraConfigurationData.xml file.

3. Locate the <!— <PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess/> -> line and change the false setting to true.

4. Click Save.

NOTE: Support for mixed authentication types is not supported with the SRA. If any storage array within the

SRM configuration has password authentication enabled, all other storage arrays will require password

authentication. Passwords between storage arrays are not required to be the same.

5. Restart the vCenter SRM Server service from the services.msc console. This allows the SRM to detect the newly

installed SRA and register any changes made to the SraConfigurationData.xml file.
